Following a new office opened in Chile, and a branch in Singapore within the last few weeks, Fibo Group Ltd. has announced registration with the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), becoming the third company that forms part of its holding group structure.

The group includes FIBO Group Holdings Limited (Cyprus) and FIBO Australia Pty Ltd (Australia), operating under the brand, and offering mainly MT4/MT5, and cTrader, as well as a DealSmart platform for technical analysis, alongside other services.

One of its website’s features, the Signals Markets from MetaQuotes within its website, and describes itself as a market-making broker. Upon further review of its site, a recent offer made mention of a NDD capability, also through the MT4 platform, which may indicate the broker has the option of acting as an agent, in addition to market-making.
